Elsa here. You know the Amazon parrot master Jerry is so enamored over? Anyway, he did it again. The third time in three years he goes and gets himself a cat! A cat! C-A-T! Crazy right?
I thought I heard a commotion last week when Master Jerry had gone out telling me that cat named Cosmo, he had a writing meeting to attend. Cosmo left too leaving me alone as the late afternoon slowly became night and darkness filled the trailer and outside.
I thought I distinctly heard coyotes outside in the back just before Master Jerry came home. Then I heard him calling for Cosmo, numerous times but he never came. It was a bittersweet time for me. I got used to the cat and just knew deep inside something terribly tragic occurred, but Master Jerry I supposed concluded this as well.
The following week, he arrives home and brings in a container with something inside. My worse fears were soon realized the moment he unzipped the opening and out comes a small cat; more kitten than an adult.
“Elsa this is Ducky, Ducky this is your new home and that’s Elsa.” He introduced us but I was feeling every bit upset that he would go and do this. I thought he loved only me. Not cats! This one came bounding over to me, intent I’m certain that he wanted to attack and eat me. Fortunately for him, I was securely locked inside my cage, or he would get a taste of my wrath, by golly.
I could see that he resembled Cosmo to a tee except for his size of course, seeing this little fellow was still a kitten. Same gray and black striped design, same yellow eyes. He tried valiantly to swat at me with his exposed nail paws, but to no avail.
To show I wasn’t afraid, I lounged back at him with my open beak, daring him to get inside. Oh, how I wanted him inside! Master Jerry merely watched me and him—Ducky—pointing his cellphone camera thing at us and taking pictures while he laughed at us, as though this episode was humorous.
IT’S NOT FUNNY!!!
